A series of pullout tests were carried out on waste tire treadmats of various weave arrangements, with confining stresses ranging from 9 to 59 kPa approximately, in order to investigate the pullout behavior and to apply the results to the design of treadmat reinforced soil structures. A treadmat reinforcement can be considered as belonging to the extensible type thus progressive failure would develop in every tread. The pullout capacity of a treadmat was found to be generally equal to the sum of capacities of the longitudinal treads, with minor enhancement realized due to the presence of transverse treads. Pullout failures occurred in treadmats under light surcharge and with treadmats with higher material presence per unit area, while breakage failures occurred in treadmats under heavier surcharge and with treadmats with higher ratio of opening. The pullout capacity of a treadmat increased with increasing surcharge height and treadmat stiffness. A pullout test on a commercially available geogrid was also carried out for comparison and the pullout capacity of a treadmat was found higher than that of the comparable geogrid under identical loading conditions, indicating the merit of using the treadmat as an alternative to the chosen geogrid.

Generally, field performance of elastomeric track pad components has been poor, especially for the medium to heavy tonnage tracked vehicles, which are operated on the hilly cross-country course. The service life of these track pad, is affected not only by the terrain and environmental conditions but also by the speed, cornering, braking, weight of the vehicle, and the track tread design. In this research, modulus, tearing energy, and the rate of crack propagation of vulcanizates are evaluated by changing base materials to improve the service time of track pad. By increasing the contents of carbon black, modulus, tearing energy, and fatigue crack growth resistance of vulcanizates improved. Compared with the NR vulcanizate, the HNBR vulcanizate had a higher value of tearing energy. The rate of crack propagation of vulcanizates using smaller size carbon black was slower than that using larger size carbon black. When the HNBR was blended with the ZSC, the tearing energy of the vulcanizates was a little reduced because of the high modulus but the crack propagation rate was reduced significantly. In the relation between the crack propagation rate and the strain energy release rate, though up to 100% strain were applied to specimens, the slope on the log scale ($\beta$) varied between 1.72 and 2.3 with the kind of elastomer.

TMN Agent Platform은 망 요소의 운영상태와 자원들을 GDMO에 따라 관리객체(Managed Object : MO)로 모델링 하고, 자원들의 현재 상태를 유지하며, 관리자(Manager)로부터의 망 관리 기능 요구에 따라 조작된다. 그러므로, 에이전트의 성능향상은 전체적인 통신망 관리의 성능향상에 직접적인 영향을 미친다.본 논문에서는 TMN 에이전트의 기능요구 사항을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 성능향상을 위해 멀티스레드 기법을 사용하는 병렬 처리 구조의 TMN Agent Platform의 기능구조를 제시한다. 또한 에이전트와 다양한 자원들간의 효율적인 메시지전달을 위한 체계를 제시하며, 구현된 TMN Agent Platform의 성능을 분석한다.Abstract TMN Agent manages the operational status and real-resources of network elements, such as switching nodes and transmission systems. It performs the requested management functions from manager and maintains consistent status data of real-resource. The performance of agent system affects directly the performance of network management operation. If the agent is implemented by sequential processing scheme with single process, the agent processing can be delayed or blocked according to the status of real-resources. This problem can be solved by parallel and distributed processing scheme.To improve the processing performance of TMN Agent, we propose a TMN Agent Platform's functional architecture that is based on parallel processing with multi-tread and effective message transferring scheme between agent and various real-resource. We analyze the performance of the implemented TMN Agent Platform.

Harmonic drives have attracted increasing attention with the development of materials, parts, and related equipment. Harmonic drives exhibit high deceleration, high accuracy, and light weight. The stiffness of flexible splines according to the radial load is studied using a commercial FEM program to design the structure of the flexible spline and finite element to improve the weight and price competitiveness of harmonic drives. In addition, several studies have measured and compared friction coefficients based on 3D printed tread patterns. However, owing to the characteristics of plastic materials, a decrease in stiffness in the radial direction is inevitable. To prevent a decrease in stiffness in the radial direction, we designed and manufactured flex splines with a wrinkle shape. Through structural analysis, the reaction force and stiffness in the radial direction were determined. In addition, the maximum angle of the mound was derived by theoretical calculations, and the performance of the harmonic drive was compared with the results obtained in the mound experiment. Structural analysis shows that the shape of wrinkles decreased the stress and reaction force and increased the safety factor in comparison with that of the circular shape. During performance verification through continuous experiments, the developed harmonic drive showed continuous performance similar to that of an actual tank model. It is expected that the flex spline with a compliant spring and wrinkle shape will prevent a decrease in the radial stiffness.

본 논문에서는 새로운 퍼지 패턴 매칭 분류기(fuzzy pattern matching classifier) 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 퍼지 패턴 매칭 분류기를 설계함에 있어 분류기의 성능에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 소속 함수 (membership functions)의 모양과 개수에 대한 정확한 정보를 알 수 없었다. 따라서 소속 함수를 구하기 위하여 시행 착오(trial-error)법 혹은 경험에 의존하는(heuristic) 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 다양한 종류의 패턴에 대하여 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘을 사용하여 분류 에러를 최소로 줄이는 소속 함수의 적절한 모양과 개수를 찾기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 유전 알고리즘(genetic algorithms)은 진화라는 생물학적 모델을 기초로한 통계적 알고리즘의 한 부류이다. 이는 여러 함수 최적화 문제에 적용되어 최적 혹은 최적 근처의 해를 찾아 준다. 본 논문에서 유전 알고리즘은 분류 에러에 반비례하는 적합도 함수(fitness function)를 기본으로 소속 함수의 모양과 개수를 결정하는데 쓰인다. 유전 알고리즘에 있어서의 스트링은 소속 함수를 결정하게 되며 인식 결과는 다음 세대의 재생(reproduction) 연산에 영향을 미치게 된다. 제안되는 방법을 타이어 접지면 패턴과 필기체 영문자 인식에 적용하여 보았다. 실험 결과는 본 방법이 유용함을 보여준다.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of treadmill training with real optic flow scene on functional recovery of balance and balance self-efficacy in stroke patients. Design: Single blind, Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Nine patients following stroke were divided randomly into the treadmill with optic flow group (n=3), treadmill with virtual reality group (n=3), and control group (n=3). Subjects in the treadmill with optic flow group wore a head-mounted display in order to receive a speed modulated real optic flow scene during treadmill training for 30 minutes, while those in the treadmill with virtual reality group and control group received treadmill training with virtual reality and regular therapy for the same amount of time, five times per week for a period of three weeks. Timed up and go test (TUG) and activities-specific balance confidence scale (ABC scale) were evaluated before and after the intervention. Results: TUG in the treadmill training with optic flow group showed significantly greater improvement, compared with the treadmill training with virtual reality group and control group (p<0.05). Significantly greater improvement in the ABC scale was observed in the treadmill training with optic flow group and the tread mill training with virtual reality group, compared with the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Findings of this study demonstrate that treadmill training with real optic flow scene can be helpful in improving balance and balance self-efficacy of patients with chronic stroke and may be used as a practical adjunct to routine rehabilitation therapy.

In recent years, urban regeneration is focused on smart and pedestrian oriented development utilizing various mobility technology. The characteristics of walkways needs to reflect such development orientations. This research is the first step to find an adequate slope for ramp replacing stairs and shared by pedestrians, personal mobilities and powered wheelchairs. It aims to check if ramps on a recommended degree of angle by general guidelines are more preferred than stairs and find out what make difference of such preferences. Two surveys were conducted at $9^{\circ}$ and $9.6^{\circ}$ ramps coexisted with stairs at sequential and parallel location. The study on the survey result found that the general evaluation of $9^{\circ}$ ramp was better than $9.6^{\circ}$ ramp but $9^{\circ}$ ramp was not preferred than stairs while $9.6^{\circ}$ ramps was preferred. The difference of preferences was related to characteristics of stairs. The stair with shorter tread and riser next to $9^{\circ}$ ramp was evaluated much better than stairs next to $9.6^{\circ}$ ramp. Therefore the research concludes that $10.0^{\circ}$ which many guidelines recommend for the maximum slop of a ramp was not adequate for a ramp to replace stairs as a preferred means of vertical circulation. In addition the research found that the preference was sensitive to moving direction and gender especially in regards to comfort of stairs and safety of ramp. Most pedestrians chose a means of vertical circulation based on its comfort but pedestrian's evaluation of safety was most different based on moving direction.

There are three designs of thread form in screw type implants: V-thread, Reverse buttress thread and Square thread. The purpose of this study was to find out how thread form designs have an influence on the equivalent stress, equivalent strain, maximum shear stress and maximum shear strain and which design of thread form generates more maximum equivalent stress and strain. 3-D finite element analysis was used to evaluate the stress and strain patterns of three tread types. The results of this study were as follow. 1. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent stress is smallest in square thread and there is no significant difference between that of V thread and reverse buttress thread. 2. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent strain is largest in V thread and smallest in square thread. 3. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum shear stress is smallest in square thread and there is no significant difference between that of V thread and reverse buttress thread. 4. Under the 200N of axial load, the value of maximum equivalent strain is largest in V thread and there is no significant difference between that of square thread and reverse buttress thread. 5. Above results show that the square thread has special advantages in stress and strain compared with other thread types, especially in shear stess which is most determinant to implant-bone interface. Considering the superior biomechanical properties of square form implant, we presume that square form implant has better clinical results than the other types of implants in the same clinical conditions.
